The leader of the Turkish Cypriot community, speaking to the Turkish Cypriot press, admitted that Turkey is interfering in the internal affairs of the Turkish Cypriot community. In the context of his new statements, Ersin Tatar said that Turkey's Foreign Minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu, may visit the occupied territories on 30 May.[/B] He also mentioned the possibility of opening a new roadblock.
"There has been interference (in the internal affairs of the TCs) for years," Ersin Tatar was quoted as saying by Kipris Postasi, who added the following: "Don't we know how Mehmet Ali Talat was elected during the Annan Plan? Didn't Talat himself once said that 'if I were in Turkey, I would vote for AKP'?"
Cyprus and the new roadblock
Tatar referred to the Cyprus issue, claiming that "Greek Cypriots cannot digest the T/Cs" and added the following: "Turkey will never give up the two-state policy. (And this is because otherwise) In case there is a federal solution, Turkey will completely withdraw from Cyprus."
In the context of his reference to the Cyprus problem, Mr. Tatar also touched on the possibility of operating a new barrier, claiming that "the Greek Cypriot side does not agree with the operation of a barrier at the Paphos gate. (However) the possibility of operating the barrier at Mia Milia is being evaluated."
It is noted that Mr Tatar once again disagreed with the anti-Cypriot banners and slogans circulating in the occupied territories in the past few days, claiming that "a rule of law cannot tolerate such abuses".
The ongoing crisis
The TC leader also focused on the ongoing economic crisis, stating that "with the pandemic, tourism has shrunk by 80 percent and higher education has shrunk by 60 percent. State revenues have collapsed. The Ukraine-Russia war has caused precision. (Nevertheless) there is the support of Turkey and a constant flow of money."
In the context of his new statements, Tatar asked the "deputies" of the People's Party (PL), who previously decided to leave the "parliament", to continue their duties in the "parliament" and disagreed with the idea of early "parliamentary elections". He also advocated the transmission of electricity from Anatolia to Turkey by submarine cable.
